Here is the true saga of the Irish American mob, from the mid-nineteenth century all the way to the present day. The heritage of the Irish American gangster was established in America long before that of the more widely portrayed Italian American mafioso, and has held strong through the modern age. In fact, the highest-ranking organized crime figure on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List is not a wiseguy, a Latin King, or a gangbanging Blood or Crip, but an old-style Irish American mob boss from South Boston. Combining storytelling with thorough research and a slew of never-before-published material, English presents a cultural history of the Irish American underworld
Includes bibliographical references and index
Blood at the root -- A perfect hell on earth -- Up from Mud City -- Delirium tremens or new clothes on an old dame -- The dagos vs. the micks -- Requiem for a mad dog -- The smoke-filled room and other tales of political malfeasance -- Hard hatsz & hard men -- The patriarch -- Irish vs. Irish -- I left my heart in Hell's Kitchen -- Last call at the Celtic Club -- Mickey's monkey -- Southie serenade : Whitey on the run
